this song was made johnny cash and is about getting on the blue train and traveling far away cause he had lost everything that held him to that land. this song is related also to the blues but this song is related because of its beat and rhythm. it has a counter beat, which has a beat that goes by a 1324 beat. this beat was originally done by a pianist who played the blues way back in the days.once again here is the song lyrics if you wish to see what i'm talking bout blue train lyrics.
